What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of essential Git protections, ensuring that your main branch is always safeguarded against accidental direct commits or pushes, thereby maintaining code integrity and stability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Branch Protection Rules: Configures GitHub settings to require pull requests for merges into the main branch.
• Local Hook Installation: Installs pre-commit and pre-push Git hooks to prevent direct commits and pushes to protected branches locally.
• Global Hook Defaults: Sets up Git to use a global hooks path, ensuring new repositories automatically inherit these protections.
• Use Case: When initializing a new project or onboarding a new team member, running this skill ensures that all developers adhere to a safe and standardized Git workflow from the outset, preventing common mistakes that could destabilize the main branch.
